The completed stake net which is stationed on the rocks at Boddin, Angus viewed at high tide and has just been constructed by a team of five salmon netters. The once-thriving Scottish salmon netting industry fell into decline in the 1970s and 1980s when the numbers of fish caught reduced due to environmental and economic reasons. By 2007, only a handful of men still caught wild salmon and sea trout using traditional methods, mainly for export to the Continent.
